Flat Affect isn't pretty when it comes to music. He likes it both ways, going harsh from time to time, but always coming back home to the dark (ambient) side. If we had cookies, he ate them all. The Harvest is a collection from compilation tracks of last year. Half of them were made but never released, the other half was well received and stars on a couple of good albums. There doesn't seem to be a certain here, we jump from one style to another between tracks, but they are arranged in such a way that each track complements the next or the previous. It ultimately climaxes in a couple of 4 second tracks. Prepare to be hissed and crackle-popped right up to heaven! Limited to 30 copies.

A new harsh noise project by the person behind Hypochondriosis blasts of this new year. What can only be described as an angsty nostalgic view on last year, makes me stroke my beard in pleasure, wondering why I'm calling it harsh... It has the sound and density of eardrum wrecking panic attacks, but mastered with such expertise that it acually sounds soothing again. Expect new levels of insanity, overlayed with primal screams and floppy guitar twitchings. Limited to 30 copies.

A sizzling welcome to a horoscopic journey through the imagination of Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt. He tells us his story behind the crackle pop of a mechanic campfire, accompanied by the sounds of the forest where we are camping. …
